Dear Bsdnewbie,
in your shell startup file(s), you may wish to set those variables to
the appropriate values.
As an "English" user, I have -- "experimentally" -- set the following
(I use the tcsh shell):
setenv LC_ALL en_US.ISO_8859-1
setenv LC_CTYPE en_US.ISO_8859-1
setenv LANG en_US.ISO_8859-1
setenv MM_CHARSET ISO-8859-1
I am not sure these are the best (or more correct) settings; actually,
I have not (yet) bothered to fine-tune the locale settings, either.
However, I no longer receive any complaints ...
Best regards,
Salvo
